Spotlight not including results it obviously should

My spot light is not including document/files that are in plain view. How do I get it to reindex or fix itself?

they are in my documents folder. I search a word like BOARD which is in the title of at least 10 documents and spotlight returns nothing when i see them right there in my documents folder.
all spotlight search preferences are checked that can possibly be checked.
i would like to force a reindex as a first step but don't know how to do that.

  • Spotlight not generating results

    I have an issue where the spotlight search does not pull results, or sometimes filters out correct results the more narrow my search. For example, if I look for my friend "paul", and type "pa", paul will begin to show up, but when I complete it further "paul", I suddenly do not have any of my friends name paul listed.

    I think some of the Spotlight problems were fixed in the last OS8 update.

  • Spotlight not showing  results of system Apps in Spanish

    Hi,
    I'm using a Intel Core2Duo imac with 10.4.8 and 1 GB of RAM. I've been able to use the spotlight searchs for aplications from the beginings, but since 2 weeks ago I can't find any application of Apple Mac OS X which are in Spanish (for instance: "Preview" is "Vista previa", "Disk Utility" is "Utilidad de Discos").
    If I want to find and launch "Vista previa" I have to write "Preview".
    This is a problem I haven't before and I don't know how to solve. I've already re-indexed the entire volume. What else can I do?
    Thanks a lot in advance

  • LabView 2010 Applicatio​n Builder for EXE Always Included files are not Included

    In LabVIEW 2010 F2, When I am using the Application Builder to build an EXE file, I have listed 10 or so files to Be "Always Included". But when I Explore the directory where the EXE was built, those "Always Included" files are not there or in any subdirectory under the EXE file.
    This frequently makes my EXE file not work properly because important files are missing. I have to spend extra debugging time to find out the the cause of my problem is missing files that the Application Builder should have transferred "Always".
    Why did the Application Builder, when building an EXE target, not include the files that should be "Always Included"?
    Why does the Application Builder ignore these files specifications?

    The build does include files you select. Post an example project with a small VI and some separate files where this does not happen.
    No, it does not appear that all of the files that I listed in the "Always Include" list are copied during the Build process to the Build directory or any subdirectory under that.
    The Build Source Files.jpg file shows most of the list of the files that should be "Always Included". Notice the .VI and .ctl files that are listed
    The Build Directory.jpg file shows the file in the Build directory that were built.
    The Data Directory.jpg file shows the data directory under the Build directory and may include some of the files listed in the "Always Include", but not all of them.
    The other subdirectories under the Build directory were created by me and do not include any files that were copied during the Build process.
    So not ALL of the files that were included in the "Always Include" list were copied into the Build directory area as expected. ALL of the files that are listed as "Always Include" should be copied, if they exist. Those files existed when then were selected for the List and they existed at the time of the Build.
    I can not include an example project that demonstrates this. I am prevented from doing so by the terms of an NDA. You are going to have to take my word that this event is real and happens the same way every time. This information should be sufficient for someone to investigate why do not ALL of the files listed in the "Always Include" list are copied into the Build directory area regardless of the file type or contents.

  • Spotlight not finding files it should be, including file types it shouldn't

    I have several folders and documents with the word "Kiosk" in the name as a full word (not as part of another word or preceded by an underscore.) When I search my hard drive for "Kiosk" spotlight shows no results. These documents are in my documents folders. Why are they not appearing in seach results? Now I'm worried, what else doesn't Spotlight find? I used to see this problem years ago in OS X 10.3 but thought they had fixed it long ago.
    Meanwhile, I don't want Safari history or emails to clutter up my search results when searching by context. I have these two things unchecked in my Spotlight system preferences, but they still appear in search results.
    I'm baffled by this errors suddenly appearing after using Snow Leopard for this long. Is there a way to make Spotlight work correctly?

    I still can't get rid of the emails and safari history items in my search results.
    Don't waste your time. I filed a bug report for this;
    I've set Spotlight's Search Results to not show webpages. However, webpages are depicted.
    Engineering responded with:
    After reviewing your submission engineering has determined that the behavior you reported is as expected/designed.
    The spotlight preferences set in the prefpane only apply to the spotlight menu in the menubar, not in the finder.
    Thus, your only option is to use the crappy Spotlight menu, which you can't tailor for searches. If you think this is ill-designed, as I do, File a bug report with Apple.

  • Spotlight not Indexing (or showing any results)

    Spotlight isn't working at all for me in Leopard. I had just done a format and clean install of Leopard, all apps and fully updated OS and apps patches. It's been 2 days now so I'd expect Spotlight would have indexed everything. However Spotlight returns no results for anything typed in the search box. Nothing.
    Could the following be related? When I open Spotlight preferences>privacy and try to add ANY of my drives to the prevent list, it returns this error for all drives: "Privacy List Error. the item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error."

    I fixed it and want to post what worked for anyone else with this problem. Spotlight would not return ANY result after the clean Leopard install. I cleaned out ALL the caches with the program Cocktail Leopard edition. That did the trick. Instantly Spotlight began indexing my drives. While I've used Cocktail for years I also found a program called "MainMenu" which has an actual button for "Re-index Spotlight". I didn't need it because Cocktail worked. But should cocktail not work for you I would try MainMenu next.

    Dear members of this forum,
    please have a look at rules of engagement:
    Do not ask for points - This forum should be firstly about information exchange; points are an incentive and a way of saying thanks.
    Asking for points is like asking someone to say "thank you": The only time we do this in real life is when teaching a child good manners.

    Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?
    Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

    The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
    Generating XML Data from the Database
    Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
    You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ

    If your subsequence is in a separate sequencefile, then check the properties of the sequencefile to make sure that the record has not been disabled.

  • IOS 8:  spotlight not showing wikipedia result snippets

    hi
    running 8.0.2.
    iOS 8:  spotlight not showing wikipedia result snippets.
    it does show the static Search Wikipedia link however.
    how to get the spotlight search snippets of wikipedia to show, as advertised?
    thanks

    Turn Spotlight Suggestions on and off a few times. If it still doesn't work try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.
    I'm using a iPad but I can't see that making a difference.

  • A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded(Not Always)

    We have a DotNet website which is deployed on a physical server(windows server 2008 r2). The application is started to using for live. Most of the time application is  working fine. But some times we have noticed the application is failed to communicate
    with MS SQL 2008 R2 database and as result the below error is displaying:
    "A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject

    enlistOK) "
    If we tried to connect the database server the same issue is showing:"A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded"
    The issue will be resolved automatically after 30-45 minutes .   Please let us know if any fixes can be done to resolve this issue.
    NOTE: We have installed SQL Server 2008 service pack 3 as per the suggestion from experts .But still the issue pwersist.

    Hello,
    When this issue occurs have you check the existing connections? If an app was unclean developed it can happen that the app opens connection by connection, but never closed them correctly and when all available connections are in use, such an error can occur.

  • I bought a new mac with 10.7.4, but it did not include iLife, or any programs from it. Is there a way I could get it, since it should have been included?

    I bought a Mac Mini a week ago (10/7), and I did a little research on it. According to Apple, iLife, or any of the iLife programs, should have been included with the purchase. Is there a way to pick it up since it was not included? I have just updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Perhaps this is what you are looking for...
    download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
